Heart screenings & prevention

$75 HEART SCAN SPECIAL

Schedule your appointment by March 31 to receive the $75 Heart Scan special.

At Edward-Elmhurst Health, we believe the best care for your heart isn’t in the hospital—it’s where you live, work and play. That’s why we’re committed to proactive cardiac care in our community. We offer online screenings, outpatient scans and preventive education, backed by expert medical and surgical care, for all your heart health needs.

Schedule a heart scan

A heart scan is the safest and most accurate screening tool for detecting the early build-up of calcium in the coronary arteries, the most common cause of heart disease. This simple, painless and potentially lifesaving test takes just 15 minutes.

You’ll receive a heart scan, blood pressure check, and cholesterol and blood sugar screenings, all in one appointment. A registered nurse will personally meet with you to review your scores and help develop a plan customized to your unique needs.
